Can a player be connected to the computer, and then disconnected and reconnected again from software? Instead of physically plugging it in, ejecting, unplugging, then plugging it back in?

Windows 7, Kobo Libra.
I've never known a way to have a USB device reconnect without physically reconnecting it. Disconnecting is easy; right click on the USB icon in the lower right on the task bar, or in Calibre you can eject from there on the ereader's button. In order to avoid wear and tear on the ereader's USB connector I have an extension cable plugged into the USB port on my computer and then I plug the USB cable that's plugged into my ereader into the extension cable. When I'm finally done futzing around I unplug the USB cable from the ereader and leave its other end plugged into the USB extension cable.
